From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nat oun coconut with its stalk intact hung in the southeast corner of a private home in Mandalay, in a gilded hanging basket adorned with ribbons, jasmine chains and fans, with offerings of green sprigs and water. A small curtain must screen it from any light at night - strictly speaking open flame as the nats in their human incarnation were burnt to death. The entire east wall of this main upstairs room is occupied by a large altar for the Buddha, and I took this picture shortly after the family had offered food (hsoon) to a line of dozens of monks on their morning round with their alms bowls (thabeiks).
